"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"For anyone considering using DTN.IQ for a data feed, my experience with the quality of data and the tech support has been very positive." - Comment from Public Forum

"I started a trial a few weeks back before the market went wild. DTN.IQ didn’t miss anything and beat my other provider. I decided to stay with you because of the great service through all the volatility." - Comment from Mike

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"If you want customer service that answers the phone, your best bet is IQFeed. I cannot stop praising them or their technical support. They are always there for you, and they are quick. I have used ****** too but the best value is IQFeed." - Comment from Public Forum

Author	Topic: Undocumented limit of 4000 headlines? (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)

I will update this thread when I have findings. Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed API Support Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
DTN_Gary_Stephen -DTN Guru- Posts: 394 Joined: Jul 3, 2019	Posted: Mar 11, 2020 01:17 PM Msg. 3 of 4 As it turns out: yes, this was an undocumented limit, but I will document it here. Limit is an optional parameter in an NHL request: NHL,[Sources],[Symbols],[XML/Text],[Limit],[Date],[RequestID] Your command above specified a limit of 5000 headlines. Here are the limits: If your request doesn't specify a Limit, the limit will be 1000. If you specify a Limit between 1000 and 4000, that will be the limit. If you specify a Limit greater than 4000, the limit is 4000. So the API actually imposes two different maximums on the number of headlines you can retrieve: 1,000 if you don't specify a Limit, and 4,000 if you do. You may also specify a limit between 1,000 and 4,000. I hope this clarifies the behavior of the news API.
